FBLA Qualifies Two for Nationals!

The Chadron High Future Business Leaders of America attended the annual State Leadership Conference in Kearney, NE on April 11-13. To start the conference, students were motivated as they listened to the keynote speaker, John Beede and attended a variety of workshops. But most importantly, Chadron students competed amongst all class levels in many different business competitions. This conference was attended by over 2,000 students and advisors this year. Although Chadron FBLA traveled only 13 members to the state competition this year, they brought home several honors.
